Wiki Research

1. A Wiki can be used in U.S History. The teacher would assign a topic for each group of student, then these ones could create a wiki where to put information about that topic. Therefore, it's possible for the group to see each other's work, correct it and deepen it easily and quickly. At the end the class will have detailed information about the history of United States of America.
2. Using a Wiki in class each student has the possibility to see everybody's work and to discuss it easily. The class can have a document where all students collaborate in a fast way.
3. In Web 2.0 class we could create a wiki in order to have an encyclopedia on the topics we study. Therefore, it's easy for the students to find out what to do when they're asked to  blog-post, share on Google Drive,  create a link and stuff like that.
4. I've never had any experience with wikis but I can't wait to do it with the one and only awesome Mr. Porfido!
